Hold on, don't shoot the messenger, I am only commenting on this survey conducted by Professor Jacqueline Scott of Cambridge university.
It seems that attitudes to working mums has begun to change back to thinking that perhaps it is better for women to be at home.
That is an interesting change and what is more it has begun to swing as more parents put their children with minders and go out to work.
From a personal point of view I can see why attitudes are changing and in some ways that is no bad thing. There seemed to be a building disdain for women who stayed at home to look after kids and it is also a job which is under appreciated.
However it would be a very bad thing if people started feeling constrained by others. After all people do need to make their own decisions. In quite a few cases it can make more sense for the man to stay at home for example. I am not sure it does make sense for both parents to work full time at the same time thus having their children in full time care though sometimes that is necessary.
Any way, I think I ought to shut up now before I did an even deeper hole for myself!
The BBC has this.
